Hello everyone, I've been building a system at home and have run into an odd issue that I cant seem to figure out. I really hope one of you can help me out as I'm stumped.
I've built my system with an Asrock X79 Extreme 4 motherboard, a Samsung SATA DVD burner, a Samsung 500GB SATA III SSD and I would like to install Windows 7 64bit on it. I'll provide a full component list below this post.
The computer boots up into UEFI BIOS just fine, while there I can browse connected hardware and see the DVD drive connected to a SATA III port (SATA3_A1 if you want to know the ports name). However when I go to boot from the Windows disc in th DVD drive I cant see it listed under boot options. So far I only have two, Boot Legacy or EFI compatible ROM. Neither of which do me any good. For some reason I cant seem to select the DVD drive as a boot location.
Any ideas how I can get windows up and running? Oh I almost forgot the BIOS version is P1.80
